The Japanese writer and Nobel Prize winner for Literature Kenzaburo Oe died during the early hours of March 3 of natural causes, his Japanese publishing house, Kodansha, announced on Monday.
Born in Ehime prefecture (southwestern Japan) in 1935, Oe studied French literature at the University of Tokyo and won the Nobel Prize in 1994, becoming the second Japanese author to achieve this recognition.
The author rose to fame thanks to “Hiroshima Notebooks” (1965), where he recounted his trip to this city in southern Japan in 1963 and later years in order to interview the victims of the atomic bombing of 1945.
Later, in 1970, he would also publish “Okinawa Notebooks”, a travel notebook in which Oe narrates his encounters with the residents of this group of islands in southern Japan, and questions the living conditions in this region and the power exercised by the central government on it.
